7 Thomas read about radioactivity in a science magazine, and came across this
definition - ‘The time taken for a radioactive material to decompose to half its
original amount is called its half life.’
The number, N, of a batch of radioactive atoms, t years after they start to decompose
is given by the equation N  N 0e t , where N0, the original amount of radioactive
atoms, and  are constants.
(i) Given that the half life of this particular atom is 24.9 years, calculate the value
of  . [4]

(ii) Find the amount of atoms as a percentage of the original amount after 50
years. [3]

(iii) Thomas claims that these atoms will disappear eventually.

Do you agree with his claim? Explain your answer. [2]

A farmer fences part of his land. He puts fences around the perimeter of the trapezium
ABCD. He also puts fences from A to E and from B to F, where AE and BF are
perpendicular to DC. Angle ADE = angle BCF = x radians and the lengths of AD and BC
are 60 m. It is also given that AB = 70 m.
(i) Show that L m, the length of fencing needed, can be expressed in the form
a  b sin x  c cos x , where a, b and c are constants to be found. [3]
